Anyone know the difference between the two? They have practically the same definitions in the textbook 😭

Im considering studying JH Economics and Computer Science but I’m unsure about CS. Do many students start from scratch in college? Of course, I would ideally invest time into coding right now but I am too busy studying for the leaving cert. Im considering CS because it’s a great combination for a finance career, specifically a hedge fund role. I also have an interest in IB, PE, and VC. I believe BESS and MSISS are my closest alternatives to Econ and CS. Please share any advice or experience. Thanks.

Hi all, Im interested in studying economics and I want to break into investment banking in London. I would also like the possibility to become a quantitative trader however I have no idea whether or not I’m capable of being one. Is economics the right course for me? I will likely study in Trinity College Dublin. Will I be a favourable candidate in London? I am aware that internships and networking are key for breaking into investment banking but I still believe the course title can do some work for me. Any advice is appreciated, Thanks.

Hi, I would love the opinion of someone who has studied in Ireland or who has hired graduates from Ireland. Do Trinity students have an advantage over UCD/UCC students in London? Im considering studying undergraduate economics in Trinity. Trinity offers Econ with Business (easiest but still difficult to get into), PPES (similar to PPE in Oxford), Econ with Maths or CS (both very difficult to get into), and MSISS (management science and information systems. With any Econ course, I can switch to single major. Would pursuing a masters in finance in London afterwards be worth it or do I need to break in after college? Any advice? Thanks.

Hi all,

I’m hoping to attend a top 30 university in Europe and I want to pursue a career in Finance, possibly IB-PE or trading. Finance isn’t offered as a course in this university however modules appear in the business courses. The likely option is to study economics and business with the option of switching to single major economics. It is extremely difficult to get into economics and maths. Is an undergraduate degree in Economics valuable?

Thanks.
